[xep-support] blanks in fo:block

The behaviour is correct. According to the XSLT spec, p. 3.4 
"Whitespace Stripping", your XSLT processor should suppress 
this space in the transformation phase. Have you checked 
if the blank is present in the FO file?

To repair, wrap your required space into <xsl:text> to protect it
from stripping, like this:

<fo:block>
  <xsl:value-of select="./first_name"/> 
  <xsl:text> </xsl:text> 
  <xsl:value-of select="./last_name"/>
</fo:block>

If it does not work, please let me know.
